Others Sent Out of Town Among the newcomers to Hershey were several young men who had hoodlum tend-encies. They began swearing on the streets and calling to passers-by and making re-marks about . girls' and women. Ralph Fiore took them in hand and gave them the choice of leaving town or being prose-cuted. One of them after being sent away came back and stole a suit case from a Hershey acquaintance who had been kind to him; He was caught and the suit case was recovered. The young man broke down and cried pifeously for mercy, promising to leave and to reform. He be-longed to a good family and for the sake of his father and mother he was let go. At large expense and with much labor the slopes of . the park in front of the Hershey , Central Theater have been brought into fine condition, and the rows of benches are a great public convenience. Signs warn all from using the slopes but several young men tried to show smartness by disregarding them and doing what they could to kill the grass.- Five of them were arrested and Squire Cassady imposed a fine of $5 and costs in each case. He also let it be known that any other proven cases of disorder or trespass would re-ceive a fitting penalty. Ralph Fiore made the arrests. In most of these cases of trespass the young men disclaimed any intent of wrong and said it" was due to thoughtlessness. • They promised to never do it again. Hershey is the home of order and it will not tolerate hoodlumism. Any further efforts at swearing on the streets or mak-ing loud remarks detrimental to women will land the offenders in jail .

Mr. Leib is one of Hershey's most ardent fish-ermen and he seldom returns from his ex-peditions without a large string. Mr. Leib tells the story of how he learned the art of fishing while a member of the 12th Cavalry of the U. S. Army under Col. Dodd, "who is now with the United States army in Mexico. Daniel, the small son of Mr. and Mrs. George Coppenhaver, "holds the record catch for the largest trout caught in this vicinity this season.

' NEW RESTAURANT IN THE PARK WILL SEA T OVER A THO USAND ONE OF THE MANY IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE SEASON OF 1916. NEW ENTRANCE IS BEAUTIFUL. ON SITE OF HERSHEY PRESS BUILDING IS A NEW PARK WITH ARTISTIC STATUARY. THEATRE IMPROVED. SEASON TO OPEN IN A FEW DAYS . Many workmen are busy at Hershey Park preparing the great popular resort and amusement center for its season of 1916, a season that promises to eclipse all the crowds and flocks of automobiles of previous years. Already it is seen that Hershey's visitors in 1916 will be very largely an automobile crowd. The number of machines increases daily. They are coming from every direc-tion and from many states. Even on Sun-day in the rain and storm the Hershey Cafe was filled. So the most important improvement is the fine modern dining room that is being built in Hershey Park, under the direction of Builder Putts. It is on the site of the old dancing pavilion and it will seat easily a thousand guests. This dining-room will be equipped with a complete modern kitchen, with gas ranges, dish washing machines and everything that will aid good cooking and prompt service. An orchestra will play during the regular meals hours and for special parties and large excursions. The great feature of the. new dining hall is the commodious porches on both of the long sides. On these a thousand people may congregate. The porch to the north overlooks Spring Creek and is a delight-ful place. This new dining hall will at-tract automobilists from every quarter. There is nothing like it in this section.- . . More For the Pu blic The old restaurant will be used for the public and will have, additional attrac-tions in the way of novelties, souvenirs and fountains. It will also have plenty of rest room. Every building has been improved and the sanitation will be as perfect as it can be made. Here is a point that travellers and ex-cursionists should heed. When they come to Hershey they get into sanitary surround-ings and the water they drink is from the mountains and is all filtered. Safety first , is a Hershey Park motto. Play For Young and Old .'¦ Qn the children 's playground .will be found a new equipment of 12 steel swings which are the very latest. For both the children and adults are new canopy swings and a new see-saw. On Spring Creek will be six; latest type canoes, which are so popular with young people. This will increase the fleet on the creek to 35 boats, embracing all kinds. The big pool, which accommodates 2000 at once, will be in the best of condi-tion and there will be a. new outfit of bath-ing suits. Tens of thousands use this con-crete pool and enjoy its clear, filtered water. Theate r Opens May 22 The Park Theater has been much im-proved and changes have been made that increase the stage efficiency. The formal opening of the theatrical season will be on Monday, May 22, when the Corine players with Dan Malloy will open a. month's engagement, giving two plays a week, with changes Monday and Thursday. Previous .experience with this company has shown that the size of the audiences increases as the engagement con-tinues and the last week is always the big-gest. There could be no better proof of merit and popularity and the coming back of the company to Hershey is because of the satisfaction given in past seasons. The company this year is much strengthened and the engagement is expected to sur-pass previous years. May Dance May 25 On Thursday evening, May 25, the new dancing pavilion will Be the scene of much gaiety. The May dance will be given and a large attendance is promised. The hall will be decorated in military style and there will be a large orchestra . ' An Inviting Entrance •The entrance to the park is now all that could be desired. The road over the bridge, the new iron railings, the stone steps for pedestrians, the handsome globe lamps and the whole thing are most inviting. As one enters he finds himself gazing at.a new park which was formerly the site of the old Hershey Press building and there are new flower beds and plants and in the center is a new concrete base 10 by 12 feet and 6 feet high; on top of which will be placed the big statue of the deer and at the corners four handsome vases with flowers. As the visitor stands at the entrance he has a new view across the hills and he finds himself .looking straight towards Highland Park. Itiis then realized that the plan of the park matches the plan of the park on the hil and that in all the planning of Hershey the distances are taken care of, thus assuring uniformity. |lllllllllllll!illl!IIIII |]llllllllllllllllllllll!!llllllllllll BwBfCj gfi^'JMS HSfHflBflHJ^^HBIHdB i 1 JMB ^l ffigEWwBMBflSy^ 1 1 vJ^ii/f if Bf tUt SSSKUmB^ziu^ I 1 K^rfyt-ftlfrSxfl^^^^ MMETMwHBu? *y£'^yT^B^^^^^^^^^^^^ BMMPiMfflP ^ Bffl^fKrtlBBBi ^^ Pl^Bff^Bi^w f B^^^^ B^^^^^^^^^^ B I =1 Mwn&xnxSwBwFnSilMfBvu }^^ (| JMffB ^^^^^^ BnfhwtftMttifflilHHKilT ^^ Bft I ^^^^^^^ Er ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ H i I P^^'Wvrr ^^^^ jBc^aGHB * vyslir?^M»E^^M** ***> • a ^^ BtflBl^^^^ H^^^^^^ H i 1I ' l\\_|^fl BIJ^flJBn^ByUJ^^BVB'lR^uWhHlf^fiMBBl7L.%, I ' .,., ' „, - . 1'!. ^ "^JjJL.

It bears tlio In-scription in gold letters "Gift of E, II; CnsBiuly, Feb. 26, 1916," WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT IT People Who Pass Through Hershey Write Back. Constantly Letters Are Received From Various Part * of the World Asking / Details of the Town "I caught a glimpse of your town while passing on the train and I should like to know more about it. . Will you please send me any booklets or pamphlets you may have," wrote a traveller this week, and his request is typical of many which are received by the Information Bureau. "The following is from a letter of one of the leading manufacturers of the United States: "While passing through your ¦ town of Hershey a few days ago, I was particular-ly impressed, not only with ' the design of your new factory building, but also with the general centralized industry with its group of activities which have there been built up. You seem to have carried out in an exceptional degree the idea of pleasant, healthy surroundings for the group , of workers with whom you are directly con-cerned. ' "As our company has already spent sev-eral millions of dollars in a rapidly growing industry here, we now begin to see the de-sirability of considering some of the needs of our workers in the way of surroundings other, than mere factory routine. Looking, therefore, to the future, I would esteem it a favor if you have any literature aj id pictures covering the gen-eral scheme of operation of your town of Hershey, with .its factories', stores, social centers and homes, if you could send me a copy of these, that they might be con-sidered in connection with our own gen-eral plans. "Your private golf links, running from the house to. the factory doors, as well as the surrounding farms, gave a particularly pleasing spring setting adapted to the manufacture of food products." Interest in Hershey increases every day and the indications are that the number of visitors this year will far surpass all pre-vious records. There is special inquiry about the' community development and general welfare work, and Hershey's' re-markable health record is attracting increased attention. A WONDERFUL SINGER Many From Hershey Attend the Con-cert In Harrisburg Madame Schumann-Heink drew many people from Lebanon Valley points to the Chestnut Street Auditorium in Harris-burg Tuesday evening, including more than fift y from Hershey and many from Hummelstown and Palmyra , After forty years of singing this incomparable con-tralto proved herself to be as effective and as captivating as ever. She is won-derful ; she has never had and she has not now a rival in her peculiar genius. To her art she adds personality. Every number she sang was a gem and the whole program was delightful. The audience was very enthusiastic. Fred. C. Hand is to he con-gratulated on the success he has won in brin ging great artists and operatic works to Harrisburg. Among those from Hershey were; Mr. and Mrs. S, D. Clark, Mr, and Mrs, W, L. Dubois, Mr. and Mrs. L. R.

Over 160,000 Bushels of Grain Expect-ed. ' La rge Hay Crop It is expected that the Hershey farms this year will yield over 160,000 bushels of -cereals, an unprecedented hay crop and other products in large measure. Last year the yield, was below that of the year before because of the damage done by the severe hail storms which cut much of- the corn and wheat to pieces. This year the planting is about the same as last year; but better luck is hoped for in the matter of weather. Under the new ar-rangement James Millard has the direc-tion of all farming operations both north and south of Hershey. The Hershey farm proposition is still divided into two divisions. North of the railroad are the properties under the Her-shey Farms Company. On these the fpl-lowing. have been planted : Corn, 975 acres. Wheat, 750 acres. Oats, 390 acres. . Soj a beans, 20 acres. The farms south of the railroad are known as the Hershey Industrial School Farms and on these the following have been planted : , . Corn, 566 acres. . Wheat, 154 acres. • .;"'"';,, : ' Oats, 220' acres. ' ' ' ;¦¦ Rye, 50 acres. Potatoes, 10 acres. Beets, 3 acres. Judging from the past the following yields are expected: Corn, 124,000 bushels. ' Wheat, 16,000 bushels. Oats, 25,000 bushels. The rye is for pig and horse feed , for pig feed mainly. The model pig farm of a thousand requires much rye. The three acres of beets will produce an appetizer for the livestock. The soja beans are for fertilizer; they contain valuable humus and nitrogen .' A monster hay crop is expected. In one place particularly—the old Rudy farm—there are forty acres of as fine alfalfa as could be found in America. There will be great crops ,of mixed hay, red clover, alfalfa and alsyke. ' Owing to the conditions of the year it is more difficult than usual to get farm help this year, but the Hershey farms with their modern conveniences aire more attractive than ordinary farms and they invite a superior class of help. There are several fine opportunities open for good farmers. HERSHEY FARM CR OPS TN 1916

Over 160,000 Bushels of Grain Expect-ed. ' La rge Hay Crop It is expected that the Hershey farms this year will yield over 160,000 bushels of -cereals, an unprecedented hay crop and other products in large measure. Last year the yield, was below that of the year before because of the damage done by the severe hail storms which cut much of- the corn and wheat to pieces. This year the planting is about the same as last year; but better luck is hoped for in the matter of weather. Under the new ar-rangement James Millard has the direc-tion of all farming operations both north and south of Hershey. The Hershey farm proposition is still divided into two divisions. North of the railroad are the properties under the Her-shey Farms Company. On these the fpl-lowing. have been planted : Corn, 975 acres. Wheat, 750 acres. Oats, 390 acres. . Soj a beans, 20 acres. The farms south of the railroad are known as the Hershey Industrial School Farms and on these the following have been planted : , . Corn, 566 acres. . Wheat, 154 acres. • .;"'"';,, : ' Oats, 220' acres. ' ' ' ;¦¦ Rye, 50 acres. Potatoes, 10 acres. Beets, 3 acres. Judging from the past the following yields are expected: Corn, 124,000 bushels. ' Wheat, 16,000 bushels. Oats, 25,000 bushels. The rye is for pig and horse feed , for pig feed mainly. The model pig farm of a thousand requires much rye. The three acres of beets will produce an appetizer for the livestock. The soja beans are for fertilizer; they contain valuable humus and nitrogen .' A monster hay crop is expected. In one place particularly—the old Rudy farm—there are forty acres of as fine alfalfa as could be found in America. There will be great crops ,of mixed hay, red clover, alfalfa and alsyke. ' Owing to the conditions of the year it is more difficult than usual to get farm help this year, but the Hershey farms with their modern conveniences aire more attractive than ordinary farms and they invite a superior class of help. There are several fine opportunities open for good farmers. HERSHEY FARM CR OPS TN 1916 |
